What a well written and thoughtful post on what I perceive as a huge problem.

Like you, I use FB as a message medium only, and wish there were an alternative to it. I haven't found a solid answer except a return to an old bulletin board with some of them.

I almost hesitated to comment on this because of all the trash comments. It's pretty discouraging.

Thanks for a timely and well written post. I truly appreciate it.
